# Card face attribution

The 36 card faces in this folder are rendered from **Vector Playing Cards** by
**Chris Aguilar** (`totalnonsense.com/open-source-vector-playing-cards/`,
originally `code.google.com/p/vector-playing-cards/`).

- **Licence:** LGPL-3.0
- **Attribution is a requirement of the licence** and must appear in the shipped
  game — a credits screen, an about box, or the store listing description.
- The unmodified vector sources are kept in [`art-src/cards`](../../../art-src/cards)
  so the LGPL obligation to make the source form available is met, and so the
  sprites can be regenerated: `npm run build:art`.

The court cards (J, Q, K) come from the set's alternate variants, which carry the
proper court illustrations; the plain variants are only a large suit pip.

Everything else in `assets/art` — the card back, the table surface, the panels
and the buttons — was authored for this project in
[`scripts/build-art.mjs`](../../../scripts/build-art.mjs) and carries no third
party licence.

## Note for whoever ships this

LGPL-3.0 is a copyleft licence. It is usable in a closed-source game as long as
the licensed part stays separable and replaceable and its source is available —
which is why the SVGs are in the repository rather than deleted after the build.
If that is not acceptable for this product, the 36 faces are the only thing that
has to be replaced; nothing in the code depends on their appearance, only on the
file names, which follow `<rank>_of_<suit>.png` (see `Card.assetName`).
